What is the Aspirate Culture Test?

A lab test to check for infection in the small intestine is a small intestinal aspirate and culture Test.

Why done? 

If you have signs of too much bacteria growing in your intestinal tract, your doctor may request this test. In most cases, a breath test that screens for extra bacteria in the small intestine have taken its place.

In normal circumstances, small numbers of bacteria are found in the small intestine, and they do not cause disease. However, the test may be performed if your doctor suspects that an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria causes diarrhea.

Procedure: 

A sample of small intestinal fluid is required. To obtain the sample, an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) operation is used. A long, flexible tube (endoscope) is sent down your throat and across your upper digestive tract to your small intestine to retrieve the fluid sample. In the laboratory, the fluid is placed in a specific dish. The growth of bacteria or other organisms is monitored. This is referred to as a culture.
